To keep the mid to high-end GPU market interesting, NVIDIA has just launched its GeForce GTX 570, a replacement to the GTX 470. It's priced a bit higher, at $349, but packs extra performance, improved power efficiency and lower temperatures. Is that enough to make it a winner in today's tight market? We're here to find that out.

I remember when I tested the Coolermaster CM690. It was one of the best budget cases around. It was so great of a case that many people looking to pay $150 plus for a case would buying the CM690 which cost a mere $80 or so. Even though it was not the first case to offer the now trendy mesh front facial, it did help a lot to make it as popular as it is. The CM690 was feature rich for the dollar and still popular today. But keeping intact with the scenario above Coolermaster has revamped the CM690 into what we will be reviewing today, the CM 690 Advance II. Even more feature rich the Advance II and undoubtedly will make history again.
